Bio Oil

Advantages: Reduces stretchmarks, uneven skin tone, scars etc
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive but worth it

...I have been using Bio Oil twice a day for the last six months and I am amazed at the results. I had never heard of Bio Oil before until my mum bought me a bottle, she bought me a bottle of it because I was forever complaining about the appearance of the stretch marks I have on my belly and boobs. My stretch marks started appearing at the age of seventeen when I was pregnant my son and I'm now twenty two. So for the last five years I have been really embarrassed by the look of them because they were bright purple and clearly visible. I was convinced that the stretch marks would always remain the same colour and never fade, I even nicknamed my stretch marked belly, I call it my Freddie Crougar belly. Bio Oil is an oil based substance which can be used to treat and reduce the appearance of skin problems such as scars stretch marks...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

bio brilliance

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: may look a tad small for the price but lasts forever.

...After dealing with spots which feels like forever i found that I had scarrs if you like, left over after the spot had gone, and though in time they would fade, they'd be extremley annoying. So I gave this product a try after my cousin recommended it to me. One word - excellence. It might be a tad on the expeinsive side but it keeps for ages, I still have mine and its around a year old - expiry dates not until 2011 lol. Over night you can notice a total difference. This stuffs not just great for acne scars, its brilliant for deeper scars too, like, ironing scars, cooking scars, it hydrates, smells realy nice and I definitley recommend it! It can be used for other things too such as cellulite, My aunt said it works brilliantly for that (I trust her judgement) so bio oil has a variety of uses, it contains also Vitamin E too which...

  Bio-Oil

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: A little expensive

...she told me that she had been using Bio Oil for a few months now. I thought this was a great sounding product so I decided that I would have to give it a try. I have got really bad stretch marks that I got when I was having my kids and I have a few scare that I have got from spot. So I thought that if this works that well on my mums scares it will surely work on me. ** My mum has lots of health problems now but on a good point the cancer has not came back. WHAT IS IT It is oil that can be used anywhere on the face and body. It was first launched on to the market in 1987 after a 20-year research program. The idea of the product was first thought of while studying water birds and how they managed to keep there feather looking good even though they were constantly in the water. After extensive research into the birds preen glad oil...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Bio Oil

Advantages: Gives the skin a smooth even appearance.
Disadvantages: None really, perhaps a bit too greasy if you put too much on.

...I decided to try Bio-Oil after spending lots of money on other products to try and eradicate the blemishes and uneven skin tone on my face. After a week of using Bio-Oil I could see a difference in my skin ton, brightness, and also the smoothness of my skin. It also helped to smooth out wrinkles under my eyes, an area which I have tried many products on and none of them have made a difference. It also helped smooth the appearance of visible pores around my nose are. As long as you don't use too much it is not greasy ans sinks in straight away. I now use it everyday and would not buy anything else. I have also found that although it seems quite a small bottle, it has lasted me weeks as you do not need to use very much at all....

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

The use of Bio Oil on Keloid Scar Tissue

Advantages: For use on keloid or hypertrophic scar tissue = none
Disadvantages: Un-effective for keloid and hypertrophic scar tissue

...This review is aimed specifically for individuals who, like myself, suffer from the development of minor keloid or hypertrophic scar tissue and who may be thinking about trying Bio Oil in an attempt to reduce the appearance of such scars. Keloid and hypertrophic scarring affects around 10% of people and can form following any surgical procedure or even after injections, spots and piercings in extreme cases. Bright red areas of scarring form which may become raised and extend away from the initially affected area. They are ugly but are notoriously difficult to treat effectively . I?ve known about my propensity towards such scarring since I was around 14. Following my BCG injection at the top of my arm the area became intensely inflamed and painful. I couldn?t sleep on that side of my body for months. Once healed the scar...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Bio Oil - A good all round product

Advantages: Specialist product, easily avaliable at chemists or supermarkets, natural
Disadvantages: Expensive (but will last a long time)

...Anyone who has ever suffered some kind of skin defect like scarring or stretch marks will often understand how bad scars left over from any life experiences that cause scars like pregnancy and acne can leave someone feeling. Personally, when I was younger I did suffer from moderate acne and I have a couple of scars left over from spots I tried to pick. One thing I do like about Bio Oil is that it is natural, as I have found natural products to be much better than using the 'specialist' products like Clearasil that claim to fight spots and redness and so on, but in truth really I found that they only made my face worse. Ever since I started using natural remedies, I found that they worked much better and now I have very few breakouts, it's just the scars left I have to remove... Having seen the adverts for Bio Oil and hearing about it...

I used it every day from...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

  The Secret Is In The Ingredients... Bio-Oil

Advantages: It really does work, perfect for anyone of any age, smells lovely.
Disadvantages: Slightly over priced.

...**Introduction** I may only be 22 years old and not yet have to worry about the effects of ageing but I still do as through media articles it's always shoved in your face on a daily basis. So when a friend told me that she had seen an advertisement in a magazine for a product called Bio-Oil I had to find out more about it?. Having taken a liking to what I had researched, I then headed straight down to my local Boots store to buy some? **Bio-Oil History** Scientists for years have attempted to develop a unique oil that will replicate the same properties of the human skin and they did this by bizarrely enough, studying ducks. After studying the preen gland oil of a duck, skincare scientists realised it was possible to recreate this uniquely formulated "dry" oil for use on human skin, this formulation has now come to be...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Bio-Oil - Nearly as good as Plastic Surgery?

Advantages: It has lots of uses
Disadvantages: Can take time to see results

...Bio-Oil **WHAT IT DOES** Bio-oil is a skincare product which will help the appearance and reduce scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone and will help ageing or dehydrated skin. Not only will it reduce these symptoms but it can also precent them from appearing. So what makes bio-oil so magical or special? Well one of the ingredients is PurCellin oil which they claim optimised the targeted delivery of vitamin A and E, Chamomile extract and a combination of natural oils (which are Lavender, Calendula and Rosemary), this helps to maintain healthy skin. **PRODUCT + PACKAGING** It comes in a small rectangular box which has a grey drop (with orange lines going through it). The overall background is white with orange and grey writing. The product itself comes in a clear container which has a white screw top. When you screw off...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

BIO-LOGY REDISCOVERED!

Advantages: GREAT FOR DRY SKIN, NON-GREASY
Disadvantages: A BIT EXPENSIVE, DOESN'T GET RID OF STRETCH MARKS

...After hitting my teen years, I noticed that I was developing stretch marks on my buttocks (yuck, not a good look!). After trying a variety of things to help combat the problem, I found that nothing really works. One day, I noticed Bio-Oil on an advert, and was pleased to find that my local Lloyds pharmacy stocked the product. I was wary of the price at first, as it costs around £10 for a 60ml bottle of the stuff, but I'd say it was worth every penny. You can also get it online for a brilliant price of £5.99 for 60ml at www.multipharmacy.com they also do two 150ml bottles for £20. By applying it every morning after a shower, and every night before bed, I have noticed a difference in my skin. Although I cannot say that it has got rid of the stretch marks (as nothing probably will to be honest) However it has transformed the condition...
